Still have 15 minutes to participate in round 4.
-
How about Tom Brennan? Actual Tom Brennan quote: "I don't believe the weak middle of the Big Ten should be stealing bids from better quality teams from other leagues like Maryland, Georgetown and Wisconsin."
-
This is what I think is going to happen: the Big Ten will get 7 or 8 teams, but 4 of them are going to be 9-10-11-12 seeds, and when only 3 teams advance to the second round, the media talk will be all about how they didn't deserve the bids.
-
Did the Big Ten take away Gottlieb's credit cards? Must have...I know it's not flashy, and it'd be nice if just one team tried to get some transition game going next year, but slow pace doesn't mean bad teams.
-
They have really struggled offensively the past few weeks, but they're one of the top 5 defensive teams in the country, which has to count for something.
-
Hey, indefinitely can mean zero games...
-
Man, I'm not sure who is more ignorant of the Big Ten, Tom Brennan or Doug Gottlieb.
-
Let me put it this way...I'd have Creighton, St. Mary's, Utah State, the 3 Big Ten bubble teams and Dayton over them no matter what those 4 teams do from here on out. Also, as the SEC tournament goes, I don't think there's a single team that can help their position by advancing in it. I think I agree with you, though USC I think would have an argument. I like the Big Ten bubbles over them, but you know I hate Utah St. and St. Mary's. If any team not in the field makes the finals of their conference championship, we'll probably put them in the field somehow anyway, just in case they happen to win.
-
Oh, and with Providence's loss, the Big East auto bid has to go to a team already locked into the field, so that last at-large opened up. So, if every other tournament is won by a team not already in the field, the current field is final.

Reminder that you have 3 hours to get me your lists by PM or post.

My thoughts on the lists: Gonzaga TEAM WHOM SHALL NOT BE NAMED (and won't count) Xavier Florida State Remainder of the teams that are in: 21. West Virginia 22. Purdue 23. Arizona State 24. Marquette 25. BYU 26. California 27. Oklahoma State 28. Wisconsin 29. Texas 30. Tennessee 31. Utah 32. LSU 33. Michigan 34. Boston College 35. Texas A&M 36. Butler Auto Bids: Siena N Iowa Cleveland St. WKU VCU NDSU Portland St. Cornell ETSU Robert Morris Morehead St. Radford Chattanooga

Now, now, I just started this committee, I'm not a wise man. ;)
-
No love for Michigan State.
-
Rhode Island lost to Duquesne in the A-10 quarters. UNLV lost by 15 at home to San Diego State in the MWC quarters, marking the third time UNLV has lost to SD State this year.
-
Well, according to this committee so far, they're currently 6th on the bubble list with potentially 9 bubble spots left (pending conference tourney results). So, they're right in the ballpark as long as they don't kill their chances against Indiana.
-
Reminder to PM me or post those 3 lists before the end of the night.
-
BYU held off pesky Air Force to keep their lock status intact.
-
Their road/neutral record is damaging for them at 5-10, with only one "neutral" win against even a decent team (Gonzaga).
-
Well, at least Georgia won't be pulling a Georgia this year.
-
Well what do you expect from a conference with 5 (yes, 5) out of conference D1 wins? Oh, I know. The winner of that conference could lose the play-in game by 20. However, if the 1 or 2 seed wins the conference tourney, they probably won't get slotted in the play-in game on account of the MEAC-SWAC pity rule. So, instead, they'll lose to UNC by 70. EDIT: The best OOC win for the conference, by FAR, was a 1-point victory over Morehead State by Grambling. Of course, Grambling finished last in the SWAC and couldn't even make the conference tournament.
-
Texas squeaks by Kansas State, and will play Baylor in the semifinals.
-
Today, on "How bad is the SWAC?": Jackson State went 1-11 in non-conference. They're the 2-seed in the SWAC tournament.
-
Well, it wasn't a bad loss, but they've really struggled down the stretch, Clemson/Marquette-style (tough schedule at end of year). However, where Clemson/Marquette can afford to tumble from a 2-3 seed to a 5-6 seed, Arizona really couldn't afford to tumble from a 9-10 seed. I think they're done, but a lot of committee members liked them, likely because of some good non-con wins.
